Wout Weghorst said farewell to Besiktas fans yesterday as he prepared to join Manchester United.
United are set to take over Burnley striker Weghorst's loan from Besiktas.
Weghorst paused to soak up an emotional potential goodbye to Besiktas after he scored the winning goal in their 2-1 Turkish Super Lig victory over Kasimpasa on Saturday afternoon.
The footage of the emotional celebration went viral but Weghorst went even further after the full-time whistle when he returned to the pitch to enjoy a quiet moment to himself.
Standing all alone, Weghorst crouched down on the halfway line and felt the turf before marking a cross on his chest.
As the big centre-forward then left the field, he was greeted by several members of Besiktas' technical staff as he dished out a number of hugs.
Turkish journalist Sercan Dikme reported last night: "After the match ended, I spoke with the club and the player's side. There is a possibility that Wout Weghorst will leave.
"Manchester United held a meeting with Burnley. Let me give you confirmed information, Besiktas needs to give approval for the player to leave."
